Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThey are renovating so lots of banging which was disturbing but overall experience was very good.
Great value for money. Easy access to the shops. I was surprised at how clean my room and bathroom were. I would definitely book them again in the future. Staff are friendly and helpful. Complimentary tea and bottled water would have been a bonus.

United StatesThere was some noise during the day, probably due to ongoing renovations. This is probably on me for failing to request a non-smoking room, but there was an ashtray and a faint stale smoke odor when I first arrived. You’ll certainly fine some places to eat, but not the plethora of dining options of some other neighborhoods.
This hotel should have some appeal for a certain type of savvy traveler (less suitable for the dainty or the squeamish). If you’ve stayed in Paharganj, and are over it, this may be your cup of tea. The hotel has a very clandestine feel. It is located toward the end of a narrow dead end ally in the cycle mart. Bicycle tires are stacked high just a few feet from the front door. Around the corner men are sitting on the ground assembling bicycles and lacing wheels. Don’t be put off by the dingy sign for the hotel at the front of the ally. My room seemed to be newly renovated, the shower was hot, and the bed extremely comfortable. The staff was highly responsive and helpful. Room service is available 24 hours and a roof affords excellent views in all directions of some the most iconic buildings in Delhi.

AustraliaSome rooms are being renovated. No problem but worth noting
This hotel is in simply fantastic spot near Chandni Chowk. The views from the roof are spectacular, across the fairground to the Red Fort, right to Jama Masjid, left to a Jain temple and a Hindu temple. The vegetarian food is delicious and the staff are great. It was our third stay here.

IndiaBecause it is centrally located it's a very hustle and bustle, I do not recommend that travelers who are seeking peace and calm choose this place.
I like its central location in Old Delhi, near to Jama Masjid, Chandni Chowk, and Red Fort.

AustraliaWas a bit noisy, also renovations were going on so a bit dusty.
Great location in Old Dehli, close to the Red Fort and markets. Staff were fantastic and willing to offer any assistance needed. Hotel has a restaurant which is handy. Our breakfast was included and there was a choice of western or several Indian breakfasts. All were great. We also had dinner there one night and again great local food. The service was fabulous too. A table all to ourselves on the rooftop.

United StatesThe neighborhood around the hotel is not the best, I assumed it was safe and had no issues even at night. Don't expect hot water in the shower or sink, warm at best. No room/maid service unless requested, I was there 4 nights.
I stayed at this hotel about 12 years ago for the location, great location for Old Delhi. All staff were friendly and very helpful. Elevator, a nice rooftop view. Good room service, and good food. Good WiFi. I would return again for the location, staff, and price. Daniel- USA.

Hong KongWould not recommend if you are a solo traveller, or arriving late at night as old delhi area is quite 'rustic' You get what you pay for - if you want a comfortable shower and new mattress you need to spend more. This place is good value compared to a backpackers , large private room with room service and great staff, but nothing fancy
Staff were excellent, so friendly and helpful, and spoke good English. The location is handy to old Delhi sights (although you have to go down an interesting alley to get to it)

BelgiumLeave your western mindset at home, India is something else, be ready to be surprised, shocked and amazed.
Please keep in mind that European standards are way off in India. The hotel looks completely derelict, the neighborhood is scary (even though I am glad I had the chance to see it with my own eyes) and the TV is not working, the cable has no matching plug. The real positive experience is with the staff, ready to help at any time of the day or night, their sweetness and politeness. Of course the room is spartan, amenities are from a couple of decades back and the building has its best days way behind, but altogether the whole experience has been incredible, including being attacked by a monkey on the rooftop terrace.
